186Beta Pressure Discrepancy

I've just noticed that Cumulus is tracking 0.5 hPa behind the pressure being recorded on the desktop unit and easyweather. Only noticed since the 186 Beta.
Cumulus Data

EasyWeather Data
2009-02-19 13:05:45, 5, 64, 26.5, 72, 25.2, 19.8, 23.6, 1009.6, 1019.1
2009-02-19 13:10:45, 5, 64, 26.5, 73, 25.1, 19.9, 24.4, 1009.4, 1018.9

I can supply more data if required and will keep a watch on the data.

If it is of any help, I have just checked mine 1.8.6 build 728 and the Cumulus data is following the station display exactly.
Admittedly ony over half an hour of increasing pressure.
Don't use Easy weather

Easyweather is not the point. The desktop display for the wh1081 is 0.5 hPa higher than what Cumulus is reading from the desktop display. Consistently 0.5! This hasn't happened before so something has changed.
I only run Easyweather every 2 weeks to keep the easyweather database up to date before the Desktop Display fills up.
Are you using a wh1081 or some derivative?

Hi
Yes, I do use the WH1081, not a derirative.
Strange, because Cumulus is still exactly tracking my rising pressure as shown on the WH1081 display. On the Cumulus display panel, graphs and in realtime.txt.

(I am also using hpa units)

Regards

Editted to add... in case it has any effect, I do not have any offsets on my system.

Very odd. Nothing has changed in this area between 1.8.5 and 1.8.6. Are you using a cumulus.ini pressure offset or the value from the station? Could you send me the file from diags for that run, please?

Steve. I've emailed relevant files to you.
No Calibration Offsets are installed.
I'll go back a week or so and see what the differences were. Let you know

EW and Cumulus match perfectly on pressure here - using V1.8.6 728

All fixed now thanks to Steve. I had an EWpressureoffset in the cumulus.ini file which was screwing up the data by 0.5 hPa.

Just trying to track back to when the change occurred but probably not worth trying to correct the pressure readings.
